Old Is Gold⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 87| BF

4/1

Shaped well on debut at Ascot prior to landing 5f conditions races at Beverley, going sweetly on the bridle and quickening up well. Subsequently purchased by Wathnan but failed to improve when eighth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Early days and may do better over 6f on handicap bow.

Form: 318

Logi Bear¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hannon| OR: 83| D

12/1

Made all at Newmarket (6f) in May prior to being beaten on merit when fourth in the Woodcote at Epsom. Well held at Royal Ascot and in the Newbury Super Sprint 13 days ago, running a shocker having been well backed. Has something to prove now.

Form: 321400

(13)

Shaman Champion²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 83| BF

9/4

Showed a sharp turn of foot to make a successful debut at Leicester (5f) in May. Shaped better than the result in the Windsor Castle prior finishing fifth behind Penhallam in a 6f Newbury novice last month, doing well to finish as close as he did. Remains of interest on first start in a nursery.

Form: 195

Blue Orbit²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 82| C

8/1

Built on the promise of his Chepstow debut second (form working out well) when going one better with a strong front-running display in a small-field Goodwood maiden in June. Faced a much stiffer task in a 5f listed race at Sandown last time and will need to improve back over 6f on nursery debut.

Form: 216

(8)

Try Storm Cat³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Johnston| OR: 81| D

11/1

Built on fairly useful form shown previously when making all in a 9-runner novice at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago, justifying odds-on favouritism. Has made a promising start but will need to step forward if he's to follow up in a more competitive event on handicap debut.

Form: 321

(4)

Ardisia¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer| OR: 81

20/1

Showed improved form when scoring at Salisbury (5f) in May but made little impact in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot subsequently. Best forgiven below form run in the Super Sprint 13 days ago having been hampered and denied a clear run. Still has something to find now tackling nurseries.

Form: 134100

(11)

Penhallam²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: B J Meehan| OR: 78| D

11/1

Has shown gradual progression in maiden/novice company and was suited by the drop to sprinting when landing a 12-runner novice at Newbury (6f) 22 days ago, for all he was well positioned the way the race unfolded. Remains to be seen if he can confirm that form with Shaman Champion now handicapping.

Form: 271

(5)

Son Of Sarabi^p¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 78

40/1

Runner-up in the Brocklesby on debut and belatedly built on that promise when second on nursery bow at York (6f) last month. Wore first time cheekpieces (retained) when well held in the Super Sprint just 7 days later and is better judged on his previous form. Should be more competitive here.

Form: 27720

(2)

Golden Brown³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 78

5/1

Has improved from run-to-run in novice company, narrowly losing out when runner-up at Newcastle (5f) 34 days ago. the winner subsequently improved to finish third in the Super Sprint at Newbury. Has been gelded prior to this nursery debut and he makes plenty of appeal stepping back up to 6f.

Form: 652

(10)

Game Striker³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| CD

20/1

Left debut form behind when narrowly taking 9-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in June but faced a much stiffer task when well held in listed company at Newmarket later that month. Has improvement to find on handicap debut.

Form: 317

(1)

Airside²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

12/1

Showed more than previously on final qualifying run when ¾-length third of 12 to Penhallam in novice at Newbury (6f, firm) 22 days ago, having enjoyed the run of things from the front. Going the right way but will needs to find further improvement if he's to make a successful nursery debut.

Forecasts

Rising Power (2/1), Shaman Champion (9/4), Old Is Gold (4/1), Golden Brown (5/1), Blue Orbit (8/1), Jan Steen (8/1), Penhallam (11/1), Try Storm Cat (11/1), Logi Bear (12/1), Airside (12/1), Ardisia (20/1), Game Striker (20/1), Son Of Sarabi (40/1)

SHAMAN CHAMPION made an impressive debut at Leicester earlier in the season and has shaped much better than the result on two subsequent starts in deeper races. He looks the type to improve now tackling nurseries and is preferred to hat-trick seeking Rising Power who looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip on his handicap debut, while the form of Golden Brown's narrow second at Newcastle has been boosted and he makes plenty of appeal back over 6f on his nursery bow.
